15:51 EST EC proposes new EU instrument to blunt excessive gas price spikes - The European Commission has "continued its response to the ongoing energy crisis by proposing a Market Correction Mechanism to protect EU businesses and households from episodes of excessively high gas prices in the EU. This complements measures to reduce gas demand and ensure security of supply through diversification of energy supplies. The new mechanism aims to reduce the volatility on European gas markets while safeguarding the security of gas supply. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and weaponisation of energy supplies, natural gas prices have seen unprecedented price peaks across the EU, reaching all-time highs in the second half of August this year. The extreme price spike over almost two weeks in August was highly damaging for the European economy, with contagion effects on electricity prices and an increase in overall inflation. The Commission is proposing to prevent the repetition of such episodes with a temporary and well-targeted instrument to automatically intervene on the gas markets in case of extreme gas price hikes." said the EC in part, in an earlier statement. Companies that may be impacted by this include: BP (BP), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Shell (SHEL), Total Energies (TTE), Chevron (CVX) and Gazprom (OGZPY). Reference Link

The agencies identified a shortcoming in Citigroup's (C) resolution plan and did not identify any other shortcomings or deficiencies in the plans from the other banking organizations, the agencies announced. "A shortcoming is a weakness that raises questions about the feasibility of the plan and could result in additional requirements if not corrected, but is not as severe as a deficiency. In Citigroup's resolution plan, the agencies found a shortcoming related to data quality and data management concerns previously identified by the Board in its October 2020 enforcement action. The agencies previously identified shortcomings in the 2019 plans of Bank of America Corporation, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, State Street Corporation, and Wells Fargo & Company, related to the ability of each firm to reliably produce, in stressed conditions, data needed to execute its resolution strategy. The agencies determined that the 2021 resolution plans of these firms successfully addressed those shortcomings. The agencies have provided feedback letters to each of the firms. The letters note continued development of firms' resolution strategies and capabilities and the expectation that work will continue. The feedback letters also note the expectation that the next plan review will include expanded testing of the firm's resolution capabilities. For Citigroup the letter describes the specific weaknesses resulting in the shortcoming and the actions required by the agencies. A plan to address the shortcoming is due to the agencies by January 31, 2023," the FDIC stated in a press release. Reference Link

PREVAIL is a cardiovascular outcomes trial in patients with a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with inadequately controlled LDL-C despite treatment with maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapies. The Company expects to announce data from both BROADWAY and BROOKLYN in 2024, and from the PREVAIL CVOT study in 2026. NewAmsterdam is also evaluating obicetrapib as a fixed-dose combination therapy with ezetimibe in a secondary Phase 2 trial, ROSE2, from which data are expected in 2023.
